A few questions

I've been with my HHA for a little over a year. The agency has just been bought by another and there have been a few policy changes. First was all nurses have to take call. Before per-diem didn't have. Also, they will no longer provide cell phones. This is the first agency I've worked for and I'm wondering what other agencies are like. Do per-diem usually have on call duties and do most agencies supply cell phones?

It's been a long bumpy road with this agency and I think it may be time to move on to the next. They also just REDUCED our mileage reimbursement! :angryfire

They reduced your mileage reimbursement? Next you can expect them to reduce your pay. My former supervisor had this done to her three times. I agree with you that it is time to look for greener pastures. So far, not too much, but it will add up over the years, and you can bet your next paycheck that you will find things changing for the worse on a regular basis from here on out.

Our per d's don't take call and we would not allow the cell phones to be taken away. And our reimbursement was just increased. Wanna come to CA, we're looking for more nurses!

The owner has also unexpectedly retired, can't be a good sign. Seems like things are sliding down hill and picking up speed.

Dusted off my resume and already have a few interviews scheduled.

Good reading of the office tea leaves.... get out why you can with license intact.

At my HHA, there are 4 administrative positions with 3 being nurses, but they rotate being on call each week. As far as I know, no staff LPNs or RNs are ever on call. Normally if we get a call in, the administration will fill in or try to get someone to cover.
